- Perhaps one of the greatest live guitar solos ever recorded.
Monmouth College Fight Song. I took a poor VHS version and added the audio from the CD. It needed a little timestretching to match the sound to the pics.

I love this song and performance and was very honored to have arranged the horn section we overdubbed at Capitol well have the live performance of this at Montreux in 1981. Tommy Lipuma brought me in for several artists on that project, The Jackets, Al Jarreau, Randy Crawford, Larry Carlton and David Sanborn I remember arranging horns for.
Robben is killing it here as is the whole band. Thoughts and prayers for drummer and great guy Ricky Lawson who is fighting for his life.
Because Russel Verrannte only has two hands@@67VW
The horns sound great.
@@67VW I was hired to put horns- Russell and Tommy wanted the added beef to the synth. Also, I was paid and ,IMHO the horns sound great.
Great hearing ! Little smatterings of Seawind in and out as I listen , Larry. Friend of Bud Nuanez and Jerry Manfredi. Always loved your playing and arrangements . Kudos!!!
Loved this track since I first heard it back in the early '80's. All superb musicians , but Robben Ford - such a talent at such a young age. (Whilst I'm here though, I have to take the opportunity to say to Larry that his synth solos on Al Jarreau's tracks "Spain" and "Easy" are two of the finest synth solos I ever heard. Truly inspiring ! )
One of the greatest guitar solos ever.
The guitar solo is a miracle. A gift of God !
This solo rivals Larry Carltons work!
Guitar solo from heaven! Truly the best guitar solo ever!
In my view the best guitarsolo ever played in a live performance. Thank you Robben Ford!!! Changed my life.....
It was man. It was!!! Back when music was music.
As great as any guitar solo - the way he gets around the chords with so much melody and still feels grounded in the blues. Awesome as the kids say.
I'm thinking some might say this solo was dope.
Robben owns pretty much every guitarist
I agree, Frank.....100%.....Amazing!.....
as tha ol' folks say!! 😃 ❤
I often wonder what others in the band thought while RFord was ripping through this, one of the greatest solos of all time!
How can you tell the PERFECT Story in just one Minute and Thirty seconds?!!...Robben Forde..You are one of the truly great ones...!!...
One of the best guitar solos ever.
One of my favourite guitar solos!
Excellent musicianship rest in peace Mr Ricky Lawson. 🙏
What a line -up . Robben Ford guitar. The late Ricky Lawson drums , Russell Ferrante
Keyboards , and Jimmy Haslip bass
i heard this from the album Casino Lights and listened to it countless times believing it was the best solo ever played. Seeing Robben do it confirms it. WOW
I personally think his solo on Worried Life Blues from the Mystic Mile album is the greatest blues guitar solo ever recorded. And his live performances of it -- such as in several videos on UA-cam -- at a jazz festival in Toronto....are also way up there...
Mike Casey me too
Awesome Memories. Listened to this tune in the 80s. Goosebumps.
Man to have been in the room with this crew! Robben's blazing solo Russell's amazing horn hits and Ricky and Jimmy's relentless drive make this one beyond special!
Brilliant guitar solo. The best I've heard live!
I been paying attention for a long time and I'll be amazed if I ever run across any guitar work as great as this in my lifetime. On a scale of 1 to 10, this is a 100.
Maybe the best guitar solo live ever.
This is truly an amazing guitar solo by Ford. He is so on here.
It is Laura, it truly is...awesome music ;;; with capital M … Music !
One of the best guitar solo ever
Great footage. Used to listen to the album so many times. Amazing guitar solo of Robben Ford. Brings back good times of listening to these music.
Robben told me that the record company had him recut the melody and they wanted him to redo the solo as well but Robben refused. So listen when the solo starts as the guitar shifts from the left of the stereo field to the center and notice that the tone changes as well.
SUPERB JOB fushpie!! Up until today I had only ever known this tune (for more than 3 decades) from the excellent Casino Lights live album and was a YJ's devotee from album #1. Never knew there was a video of this actual performance. I agree, Ford's guitar playing is totally mesmerising. This audience just had no idea they were witnessing the genesis of a lasting bunch of superior musicians.
same! I've been chasing around to find this song for decades as well. I was about 10-12yrs old when I heard the Casino Lights tape from my Dad's collection. I was mezmerized by this kind of music.
Good job and thanks for making it. I could have seen this concert back in 81 but I blew it. I was in the U.S. Army stationed in the Barvarian part of Germany back when it was split into East and West Germany. I was in love with this German girl and she made me miss my train... Boy was I pissed!!! But I love these guys and Robben Ford kills it on that guitar, I never get sick of hearing this song......
So tight! Love the Yellowjackets and Robben Ford's guitar sound. Thanks so much for posting.
Best guitar solo ever...period!
Thanks for your support, the movement like it a lot in france.
Viva la revolucion
Thanks for doing this! The audio is so much better. Maybe Robben's all time best solo.
Pleasure.
Bass - Jimmy Haslip
Drums - Ricky Lawson
Guitar - Robben Ford
Keyboards - Russell Ferrante
Percussion - Lenny Castro
I love the concentrated look of joy on the drummer's face with those horns in background. Such a good vibe.
The horns were added later. I believe Jerry Hey did the arrangement.
The perfect guitar story...
glorious! oh yes oh yes. robben ford's solo: man's a god.
When Robben is in the zone his licks are tasty as hell, what a player..loved his Yellow jackets stuff
Robin's out of pocket runs are just sick............what a wonderful solo on top of a superb cast........
Note for note, this solo is every bit as good as Larry Carlton's solo on Steely Dan's "Kid Charlemagne". Outstanding.
True, but still I think that Carlton's solo is a bit better, but yeah this is live! Outstanding.
Agreed on the solo. How he can just keep playing blues over all those changes is astounding to me.
Another great solo is on a song called Magic Sam on from Inside Story.
This solo of Robben Ford is my preferred togheter with the Jimmy Page solo on Since I've been loving you and Jeff Beck solo on Goodbye Pork Pie Hat . May be God was with him ...
The drummer is awesome!
Thank you fushpie. Excellent work syncing audio-video.
Thx iroulis. A labour of love.
The joy of music !
I had the pleasure of seeing these guys twice at the Golden Bear in Huntington Beach Ca. They loved playing this tune ,,,,Robben insisted. The original line-up of The Yellowjackets
Wow ... What a brilliant job you did on this video, well done, brought back some great memories of this time when over here in Oz we couldn't get enough of these wonderful players ...
Robben! Wow!!!
Fond memories: playing this piece mid 90s with an Alpha Juno 2. Great tune, great soli.
Nice brass section by Larry Williams.
How nice to see this. My band once thought of playing this one - I think we never even attempted to try... :-)
Wow! Thanks for a pleasure! 👏👏👏
Casino Lights, that introduced me to all of this......was soooooooio good, well mixed and tasty.
Klemmer’s performance was perfect, too!
We attempted this piece back then.....looking back, we botched it but hey, we tried, we didn't know better and we were happy LOL!!
Oh man these folks are crazy heavy...
Ok Cd version, great! hahah I was looking for the brass section on video...
Wonderful song!
I love it.
You did a great job!
Tight as fck! Jimmy Haslip's mustache LOL !
Thanks so much! :)
Well done Paul! Did I tell you that I once analysed that solo? And that section of the piece is actually improvised on the [chord]-changes to the [50/60s?] American TV theme: Have You Met Miss Jones! And that 15/8 bar ...! I had never seen this video, didn't know of its existence. Great stuff!
OHHHH, Strikes twice. 🤩🤩
any amateur or semipro band that can play the theme of the song, without losing the grove, let alone perform a half decent solo, has my deepest respect. My lot were struggling, but it was the song that always gave me the highest pleasure.

2:46 Marty McFly!
Michael J. Fox must have seen this!
Thanks!!!
Drew was here ~
ロベン・フォードのギターもさる事乍ら中盤のエレピのソロもなかなかの物です。
Robben Ford...... dang..
I keep looking for the brass/horn/reed section and don't see one. Maybe it is the keyboard player doing those parts? If so, he is one fantastic player. I did a few shows in Vegas and the keyboard had one boards and a Midi box . He had some great horn/sax patches, but what impressed me was his blend of harmonies and after touch skills just like the musician in this video. These musicians are the best. Hats off to Robben Ford and his creative playing.
Larry Williams (horns/keyboard player/Arranger, very well known) tell this in the comments here : "Larry Williams :

3:04 i always lose the tempo on those stabs. Anyone care to explain?
Why is this song not on streaming services?
as great as robben solo is ...what gets overlooked is the shuffle pocket by ricky n jimmy on robben's solo
Mr. 335!
Ah yes, the awesome '80s! -- back when Russ had hair. I was fortunate to see this original lineup regroup at the Greek Theater for one time only in '02. Unfortunately, Robben kept screwing up the first notes of the melody (the 9 triplets) of this tune 0:39, 0:45, etc. He looked embarrassed. Even though he didn't create a trainwreck, I felt for the dude. He's a killer player, so it was odd he would mess it up. Probably hadn't played it since the '80s.
@Vic Toza Rehearsals and practice runs are filled with mistakes. Mistakes are the ugly formation steps leading up to perfection...as this performance proves....
Does anybody knows what amp was he using at this time era? Not dumble I believe.
How old was Robben Ford here? Great solo!
In his 30s
Check out mike landau playing rhythm guitar behind robben in this same band he was 21 at the time
when i was young, i always skipped this song because of his "love boat" rythm (to me, in 1983, no offense ;) ). at least 20 years after, i let this song go to its end, and then i considerered myself as a wanker... so much wasted time in forgetting this masterpiece !
5:00 whatever that scale is its disgusting especially the last note lol 😍
Robben's solo face is very similar to Angus Young's. :D
So is this actually the fight song for Monmouth College?
Replying to myself, the drummer at 2:20 is trippin'.
Replying to myself again. The bend lick at the beginning of the solo at 1:36 is absolutely perfect. Maybe my favorite bend lick of all time.
tripping ? don't think so ! just in the right mood ...
Roben ford
1:26 - 1:32 someone explain what the rhythm of the stabs are lol...i lose it there everytime and dont know why 😣
nezkeys79 When the stabs come in, instead of continuing in 4/4, count in 2/4, so each stab is just a quarter note on each beat. The tricky part is getting back into 4/4. There are 10 stabs, so on the 10th, you should be counting in 4/4 again.
Try this. Shuffles are based on a 12/8 groove. The "stabs" are based on a 4 note grouping, 3 notes and a rest, based on the 8th note triplet groove. . If you think of the last note of the last group of 3 notes in this section as the new downbeat or the new "1" of the new measure, you've got it! In a transcription is ends up being a bar of 11/8. Even Chuck Sher, who usually does excellent transcription in his books got it wrong. There is an accurate chart in a video by a rhythm section of french musicians who invited 6 of their guitar friends to take turns taking solos. It's fantastic! Here's the rhythm section and chart ua-cam.com/video/IVfJPm8PZck/v-deo.html, by Jérôme BUIGUES. It's worth learning...just a blast!
Here's the video of 6 french guitarists taking a swing at this tune. Killer! ua-cam.com/video/R567WTj2Zhc/v-deo.html
@@michaelrytting well if there's an 11/8 bar that explains it lol. Do you have the transcription? I understand things much better when I see them written
I just can't get past the orange pants.
my favorite lineup of The Jackets
